Loch of the Lowes Ospreys 2009 (1 Viewer)

:eek!: The cam is not working|!| Probable the thunder is the cause of that!

Is Marges behaviour normal, I meen she seem to be so tired? You have seen her so long, is ther any difference to notice?

Firstly I was along at LOTL yesterday and Marge's behaviour is a little odd I'm not too sure that she is feeling that great but also her job is done now so maybe that she is just resting now but we have to remeber she is around 25 although this fact makes me very sad but she did catch a fish for herself on Sat Secondly the the webcam is not working here either there have been huge thunder storms here this morning and the last image I saw was I think not exactly sure was of only 1 osprey on nest so think Oor Wullie may have taken his or her first flight

Hi Elanor

I have been at the Loch lots of times
Marge might be sitting on a nearby tree but she looked very unlike herself yesterday I thought quite poorly but hopefully it was because her babies have now grown up and do not need her anymore

Hope to get up there next weekend myself amazing the difference in chicks in the couple of weeks I was down South. Don't think first flight is far away. Hope Marge is OK but she must be feeling her age a bit now. She must be at least a 'great great... granny' by now and still managing to bring up another 2 :t:

 

[Elanor]

So, Marge must have been all the time somewhere near, because she came just befor HomErik came!)

Homerik did bring a big fish.)

It came a fight...Marge did say...stop...and she did take the fish, and now she is feeding ...)) They need her still.))

Yes I did notice and am very glad as Marge looks so much more like herself
These Osprey's surprise you all the time

Has there been a fledge? I am sure I found a chick alone on the nest this morning?

You may be right, but there were always two when I looked first thing, Tiger, but it was difficult to see one chick - the branch at the top left hand corner was covering the nest more and it was behind that. Lots of wing flapping from one chick just now, but no flying.

 

[Elanor]

Hi!

We in Finland, we have also seen the bouth chicks on the nest.

Marge has feeding them now, good! And Wee Eck has been looking carefully environment, it is so efford, almoust like conscious.

We are waiting....)) "Has there been a fledge?" is that the idiom to learn flying? Excuse me, my english is not good)

Maybe I have estimated it wrong...what I have seen today, everything is ok! Ther are food enough, they have practicin their wings...2X o

How good to have you with us on this thread! I have just returned from a Cruise from the Tyne (NE England) to the North Cape of Norway, so maybe I wasn't too far away from you!!

We saw no ospreys, but a white-tailed eagle flew not two metres away from our cabin window...............sadly it was gone by the time I grabbed my camera!!

We hope to visit Loch of the Lowes very soon, and look forward to the youngsters finding their wings over the loch! It is a superb Visitor Centre, and we always enjoy our visit there.

Regards,
June

I wasn't watching the web cam at the time you heard the bird last night. maybe it was a blue tit or a great tit. they are very vocal near the nest. have a listen on the RSPB page. Look up Blue tit or great tit then listen to see if its what you heard.


Aren't the chicks looking great by the way. Mum and dad have both been on the nest and Mum is feeding a fish to the babies. They are huge so it looks really silly ha ha ha.

 

[Cosworthlady]

Anyone else watching? Are we about to have our first flight??

 

[vivster]

im watching cosworthlady

 

[Elanor]

Hi

Actually, me too! I am just flying between LOL and Hailuoto)))

I can not anymore know the different between Wee Eck and Oor Wullie.
.....................

By the way.)..the little bird, it was not blue tit, parus caeruleus, that i know...the great tit, what is the name in Latin? I will learn to know it too.)

 

[Cosworthlady]

I can not anymore know the different between Wee Eck and Oor Wullie.

Me neither Elanor. They are both pretty identical to me!!

Well no one left the nest because Dad brought a fish and Mum fed them. It made the chicks think twice about leaving home. This pair are so spoilt. But then again Marge and Homeric know best and I trust their instincts. They'll know when to stop feeding as much and encourage the chicks to leave the nest.

By the way I think Marge is looking pretty damn good again. I hope I'm as fit as her at that age LOL

 

[Cosworthlady]

Oh Heck. One of the chicks is determined to shift that twig and if he leans over too much he'll have no option but to fly. Get flapping baby!!
